    Akankshas puzzle initially tried with Time magazine searched for Soul call landed on Chandrika learnt that she is Indira Nooyis sister then read biography of her which listed all details.

    BTW my ratio for likes given over recd is 0.89. I like to give likes.
    I was thinking of using FB image of 4K likes for 4000 clue in my puzzle. Then thought it would be too obvious.

    I reached Akanskhas puzzle with the key words times100+guitar+soul call . First I reached bono (Paul Davind Hewson).
    Then Akanskha reminded me the theme and then I started again different combinations of key words serching Indian personlity.
    I halted at Chatanya Bagath. I started again as I could not connect to some pictures in puzzle.
    Then the key words I mentioned led me to Chandrika krishnamurthyTandon. When I tried to search for her wiki , the page showed Indra Nooyi wiki.

    It will be really educational for me to learn more about how each one likes a post. @Deepslikes, can you conduct a special course for me how to like posts? @Gauri03, you are welcome to join this online course, if you like. Not that she needs, but we will try to negotiate the fees in the form of extra clues for puzzles.

    @Gauri03,

    Instead of running one theme at a time, how about running two themes for a quarter? Every puzzle should declare the theme up front. This way everyone is kept happy and no one gets burned out with one theme. It might recruit more into this thread.

    I am just coining this idea for the consideration of everyone with no vested interest towards any specific theme. It makes no difference whether it is Chinese Wall or Berlin Wall.

    BTW, anyone watching "The man in the high castle", a show produced by Amazon? Out of 50,000 voters, nearly 70% gave rating 5. My son recommended this and it looks like it is a top show. I have seen only one episode and viewing the second as I write this.

    Those in the West are living in the United Pacific States ruled by Japan and those in the East are ruled by Nazis. It looks like it is a real scary thought executed into a nice show.

    Viswa

    Woah Viswa! Spooky conincidence! :boo:

    Just finished season 1 last night. It's pretty well made. I'm half way through reading the book for the second time, though as usual the show and the book differ wildly. Philip K Dick is my favorite sci-fi author! Fans of Philip Dick are called Dickheads! :biggrin2: I've been a 'Dickhead' since 15 when I first discovered a book of his short stories. I binge-read all his books between ages 15-18. Have been picking up some favorites at random and rereading them these days. Almost all decent Hollywood science fiction comes from his books - Minority Report, Total Recall, Paycheck, 12 Monkeys,Existenz, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and of course, Blade Runner. The man was a visionary. He imagined so much of our world exactly the way it has turned out!

    BTW, the secret is out! Where do you think I got my China and Europe puzzle ideas from? Read 'The man in the high castle' and you will know the answers! :rotfl

    My DD's Ancient civilization history text book has some portions on China. I wanted to study more. Well if it is European history, I will have to rely on Wikipedia a lot. Talking about wiki, I have donated to Wiki like any year but it keeps asking and blocking the page:). Shouldn't it be intelligent to locate IP address and filter people who have already donated ideasmiley!
